I don't know if I should ask here but anyone have any ideas as to the suitability of the Enfield action as a basis for a scout rifle. I have always liked the scout concept but, lacking the funds, didn't figure on owning one for a while. Things changed when I read the latest edition of Tactical Shooter magazine that featured a customized Enfield. It started me thinking about a scout built upon a surplus Enfield action but will it make weight? Can it be done in a cost effective manner? I have long thought of the #4 mk1 as the greatest military bolt action rifle ever fielded but by smithing abilitys are limited at best. I have just worked a deal with a retired master machinist that will put me in his shop about 10 hours a week to help him and I was thinking this would be a good starting project if it is practical. Is it practical?
